Description

On Sibley road in Huron Township in New Boston Michigan 48164,There is a dangerous situation that has existed for several years. Train tracks at Sibley road and Eureka roads .Block traffic for as much as 45 minutes at a time,This dangerous situation occurs several times a day,all depending on how many rail switche are required that day.I had a friend Charles Johnson die a few years ago,because the ambulance could not get around the train blocking the road.they should make the train company make an via duct over pass for these roads which goes over the tracks,on Sibley and Eureka,in order to eliminate any future safety concerns,The Huron township and Romulus city police has many records of complaints about road blocks by the train during rail switches,They said they are powerless,the train company pays the fines for blocking the roads for excessive time,it is cheaper for them. A week ago trains blocked Sibley road and Huron river dr for 40 minutes ,engine numbers ,7335 7305 at 9:55 am until 10:22 am.Some times these trains are 3 or 4 miles long,blocking Huron river dr,Sibley rd,Pennsylvania rd,and Eureka rd, All at the same time.It is time that the train company is made responsible for this delay and safety hazard.Sibley road has a on ramp and a off ramp for access to I-275 and Eureka road is the same with a on ramp and off ramp.much heavy traffic from the cars taking these ramps cause traffic jams especially during morning rush hours and evening hours when people travel to and from work,This is an issue that needs to be fixed with via ducts before some one else dies,the train company doe's not care ,Thank you very much
